Party hog roast near Kensal Town
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. Your guests will smell it from the street. Popular choices include jacket potatoes, crackling and hog roast rolls, and we are frequently booked for family reunions and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays.
Most parties in Kensal Town are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. If there’s no side gate, tell us about rear access or a front garden. A photo helps. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Kensal Town: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Kensal Town?
Queens Park (London) station, about 0.7 miles north of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at St Thomas Kensal Town: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What about the neighbours?
Let them know in advance, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
